How To Land an FPV Drone in MANUAL MODE! 👀

[@PhilBrindley]

Nice clear tutorial dude, great flying as always! (Although you forgot to mention the all important race landing! i.e. fly round like a whirling dervish until vaguely close to the ground, then disarm and call it good! 😆🤙)

[@MagicFPV]

This has really made me laugh mate 😂 I actually had a take where I went over that exact thing but it didn’t make the cut due to length

[@afilizzola5500]

As long as I don't wreck it, I call it a successful landing.

[@kasper7127]

Yes hes back

[@f1porky764]

Yay

[@MagicFPV]

Yes! 😁 had to have a bit of a break but got some ideas for more content coming up

[@uneekpcs]

Brilliant, not many step by step with explanations for beginners. Great video more beginner stuff please.

Brilliant mate, Highly recommend once confident behind the sticks having airmode on a switch. Especially when perching... :-D Ps Thanks for the mention :-D

Haha yes mate, great idea 👍

[@martindoersch]

Thanks! This helps a lot!

[@cilek1065]

Thank you for information broth. 👍

[@richmiller540]

This is how the pro's do it, alternatively get down to about 10 feet and disarm. 🔥

😂 I should have put that in the video 😂

[@Obiss1231]

great video! lots of great info

[@Valdemar1]

Try it in Air mode on a quadcopter tuned to the edge😁.. with motor idle on 11% and thrust lenear like 35...

[@TheMadmacs]

can't find vid where i asked this question about dji og foam pads, i found if i use a blunt edged thing to wear the rubbery foam pad on og goggles it softens up quite nicely, i went from massive light leak and completely uncomfortable to great fit and no leaks, just rub something like a lighter back and forth across pad where its tight, forehead and cheek pads were my issue, 15 minutes rubbing should do it.

Excellent tutorial.....Very well done and explained.

[@MagicFPV]

Thanks! 🙂👍

[@richardlee2740]

At the 13:34 time mark, can anyone please explain the maneuvers that were made twice in a row? The drone is moving forward though the building and without any stick movement it is headed the opposite direction ? Possibly a programmed switch maneuver? Sorry just getting started and am in the learning stages👍

[@MagicFPV]

Trust me there is nothing programmed on a switch for that manoeuvre but I can see how it would look like that. Basically the sticks are moving but it’s hard to see as they are very small and precise movements. The backwards momentum is generated on the way upwards and then it floats backwards with no input due to momentum. If you listen to the motors you’ll hear when the throttle is dropped to zero 😊 Hope that helps

[@20twentycrew]

Great video....I'm watching this after years of flying 3d helis. Thought these fpv quads would be a piece of cake, they're not!!

[@MagicFPV]

Glad I could help. I'd feel the same flying a 3d Heli! Haha

[@Wild__FPV]

So, I've got this thing bugging me about the Chimera 7. I'm all pumped up for flying in the snowy, muddy, and downright dirty conditions, but I'm scratching my head about the landing drill. Why can't we just flick the drone into Normal mode and snatch it mid-air? My Chimera 7 hasn't swooped into my life yet, and this is my biggest head-scratcher. With the DJI FPV, I used to groove in M mode most of the time, and when it was time to touchdown, I'd slide into N mode and grab it mid-air. It's a bit weird to me that this isn't on the menu with the Chimera 7, you feel me? Can you shed some light on this landing sitch? Appreciate it!

[@mrnevin88able]

Hope to cross path with you down there one day. I was there today

[@MagicFPV]

Oh really! Yeah maybe see you there then 😁

[@bugsy742]

I needed this so badly Thanks so much mate 👍🙏🤜🏻🤛

[@MagicFPV]

Glad to be of service 🙂 Wish someone had taught me this stuff back in the day

[@bugsy742]

@@MagicFPV I can imagine! mate I had a total head mash just trying to setup my TX16s On the Mac, let alone tbs & beta flight!!! When I got my 1st proper quad ( recently ) I didn’t even know how to put the props on right - I mean god forbid any quad companies actually put a manual in with their kit 😬😆 they just rely on JB to do a vid and keep their fingers crossed I think, landing for me at the moment is probably the single most important thing to learn and you explain it brilliantly 🤝

[@grovepadbeats1451]

What goggles do you use? I'm saving up for a drone but I dont know what goggles to get. Do you have any suggestion that are around £100 mate?

[@grovepadbeats1451]

And also mate your flying is awesome 🤙🤙

[@MagicFPV]

Thanks man... I have always used Fatsharks but recently switched to the DJI digital goggles. You could try to pick up a pair of second hand Fatsharks or Skyzones, otherwise I think Joshua Bardwell has some videos comparing cheaper goggles

@@MagicFPV thanks mate

[@MagicFPV]

@@NONX01 why are you double clicking it? Surely that’s disarming and then re arming it?

[@MagicFPV]

@@NONX01 yes! Be careful and remove your props. Once a battery is plugged in, you can check your buttons

[@MrChilli_FPV]

hi buddy, im from nottingham and wonder if you ever do get togethers for fpv pilots? i fly mostly on myown, as theres no pilots round here..

[@dylanmeaney4872]

You should make a video on how to dive with a fpv drone

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

THe first time I flew my 5 inch the camera angle is about 30 degrees. I found I got a bit disorientated when trying to land as I didnt know how low I was because I couldnt see the ground. Apart from lowering the angle is there any other tips you can give?

[@MagicFPV]

Just everything in the video. Camera angle is the simplest way to make it easier though 😀

[@kasper7127]

Does anyone know a good long range antenna?

[@lorenzvogeli3298]

iflight albatross or AXII longrange for the quad, and for the googles; X-Air 5.8

[@tj2241]

so can you say that airmode is like ABS in cars? like you can steer even when the brake is applied or the propellers of the drone are no longer powered

[@MagicFPV]

That’s a really interesting analogy. Yeah it basically keeps it stable by keeping them spinning a small amount at zero throttle

[@torentmonkey]

Why does the drone sneeze like that when touching the ground ? I find myself doing this quite a few times when practicing landing and stuff and want to know if it can affect anything.

[@MagicFPV]

Because the flight controller is trying to counteract the external force (the ground). It doesn’t really matter except that it can mess up your landing. Just use it to practice landing softly 😊 Foam landing pads also help

[@swimadamswim]

Super impressed with this flying. Iv got so much to learn and used to fly helis 3d. How long did it take to learn all this freestyle? Great tips.

[@MagicFPV]

Thanks, I’ve been doing it since 2015 but the gear wasn’t very good for the first couple of years haha

[@swimadamswim]

@@MagicFPV practice practice practice...right ?

[@tj2241]

where do you get such a type of drone and how long does the battery last ?

[@MagicFPV]

Right here: uk.banggood.com/custlink/3K3hp16dEj The batteries last 3-6 mins but most people have around 10 batteries

[@chrisjfawcett]

Nice one bud. Whereabouts in the UK do you fly?

[@MagicFPV]

Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands. Got some great spots around here. How about you?

[@chrisjfawcett]

@@MagicFPV Surrey here. Not too many spots at all round here - seriously limited due to airports and dog walkers! How's about organising a meet for after lockdown. Weather should be better and can reach out to your followers. Camping, beers, bbq and ripping. That would be awesome and an something to look forward too!

[@andreaboneschi]

@@chrisjfawcett good to see I’m not the only one having issue in finding spots! I’m in Berkshire, next to you

[@chrisjfawcett]

@@andreaboneschi It can be so frustrating especially during lockdown where you are desperate to go out and fly and chill but dog walkers are out in force and I dont want to fly anywhere near them as dog walkers and FPV just doesnt mix and dont wanna put a negative vibe on the hobby. Would be awesome if we could all meet and rip......one of the best things I have done was meet a fellow FPVer off discord and we rented a motor home for a long weekend and went ripping around rural Wales. It was a blinding little break and surprisingly cheap! All we need is someone who has some reach to organise something ;) (@magic FPV)

[@MagicFPV]

@@chrisjfawcett Surrey and Berkshire are lovely areas though! Very nice indeed. ... yeah I think that’s a great idea, and I’ve had quite a few people wanting to meet up. I’ll look into arranging it and maybe post a video to get the word out. Could be like UK Rotor Riot Rampage haha

[@SoloPsychoFPV]

What camera angle was u running on this tutorial and did u keep the same angle when u did the freestyle at the end?

Yes it’s all the same angle. About 20 degrees

First FPV landings should be done on: grass, concrete, wood, doesn't matter?

The softer the better but grass can get chopped up. The soft rubber surface on playgrounds is really good
